Chapter 383: Rover Motors

And the car manufacturing plant is built larger, so the research and development expenditure will naturally be correspondingly less.

Therefore, although the automobile industry makes money, just a huge upfront investment can make people vomit blood.

It can be said that if the cost cannot be recovered in the next year, the already stretched capital chain will become even more strained!

"No, I decided to enter the automotive industry, although the initial investment was a bit large.

But as long as we launch a new product in the next year's time, and then we can earn back the money we invested in the first time. ”

Speaking of this, although Lin Chen feels a little pressured, Lin Chen is confident that he can complete the task of putting Shuguang Automobile into production and making a lot of money within a year.

Because there are not only several academicians behind him, but also the virtual laboratory that comes with the king of copycat system!

What are the most difficult parts of car engines and transmissions? They are nothing more than design problems, production problems, material problems!

First of all, in terms of production problems, Shuguang Technology has a five-axis machining center, and the production problem has been directly solved.

Secondly, in terms of design problems, the main design problem is to avoid other people's technical patents, and at the same time, to design engines and transmissions that match or surpass their performance.

This can also be done by domestic automobile companies in the previous life, such as Cheirui, Hongqi, Great Wall and other companies, and some of the performance of domestic engines are also at the forefront of the world.

Of course, there is still a long distance between domestic engines and foreign engines, and fuel economy is the fatal flaw of domestic engines.

After all, the fuel consumption of domestic engines is generally high, usually more than Japanese cars 1~2 liters per 100 kilometers.

Although some people complain that Japanese cars are fuel-efficient, they are fuel-efficient, but they are powerless and powerless, and they are simply the three mothers on the road when they drive on the road.

But I have to admit that in the reality of higher and higher oil prices, Japanese cars with lower fuel consumption have fatal advantages, and many people buy Japanese cars for their fuel-saving advantages.

Although he was obviously willing to spend six, seven, eighty, ninety, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car, it turned out to be a bit funny to have a headache for the hundreds of dollars of gas money saved that year.

But people around the world just like to save money, so what's the solution?

Therefore, the sales of Japanese cars are the best in the world, even if its power is not as good as that of domestic engines, but fuel economy is strong, fuel economy is the truth!

As for the development of domestic engines and transmissions, the second problem is the problem of materials.

This material is really a major problem for domestic engines and transmissions, because the fundamental reason for the high fuel consumption of domestic engines in the previous life is still the problem of materials.

Not to mention the engine with slightly lower requirements, in terms of transmission, even in 2023, the domestic transmission industry is still known to have a long gap from abroad.

Among them, domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers speak with facts, and they are willing to spend more expensive and higher costs to purchase foreign transmissions than to purchase cheaper domestic transmissions.

The most fundamental reason is not that the comprehensive performance is not comparable to foreign transmissions, the real reason is the quality problem.

The quality of domestic transmissions is really poor, and the foreign transmissions run more than 100,000 or 200,000 kilometers is just like playing, among which the transmission of Fengtian Automobile dares to claim to be available for 500,000 kilometers.

And the data on paper of domestic transmissions is not much worse than that of foreign transmissions, but in fact who uses it knows.

It can be said that it is a common phenomenon for domestic transmissions to use tens of thousands of kilometers and then always have to go to the auto repair plant, and the reason for all this is the problem of materials!

But the material problem is actually not a big problem for Lin Chen, because Lin Chen has a virtual laboratory.

Developing qualified high-strength metal materials in a virtual laboratory is not a problem, and the cost is almost zero.

Moreover, because Lin Chen can refresh and copy metal materials infinitely in the virtual laboratory, this also means that Lin Chen can refresh countless metal smelting furnaces in the virtual laboratory!

The same is true for the detection of metal materials, and countless metal inspection and testing machines can also be brushed!

Among them, it is worth mentioning that if Lin Chen, the equipment in the virtual laboratory, cannot be operated, it can be hosted by the virtual laboratory for automatic control.

In this case, Lin Chen's R&D strength alone is quite terrifying, and what restricts Lin Chen is only the question of how to know the approximate metal formula of the metal material.

But these are not problems, even if you don't know the general formula of the metal material, but you just need to know the general elements of the metal.

Under the repeated smelting of nearly infinite and cost-free, Lin Chen was finally able to make a satisfactory high-strength metal material.

With the satisfactory high-strength metal materials, and finally the BUFF blessing of the nano technology on the surface of metal materials invented by Academician Luko and the 15% increase in the quality of the king of cottage systems.

Summing up the advantages of the three, Shuguang Automobile may be able to use the propaganda slogan of Fengtian Automobile in the future: "One million kilometers without major repair!" ”。

Of course, if Lin Chen can develop the high-performance metal of the Fengtian engine and transmission level in the previous life, with the blessing of the high-performance metal and metal material surface nano technology and the 15% mass increase of the Shanzhai King system.

In the future, Shuguang Automobile may be able to claim "1.5 million kilometers without overhaul!" But no one knows what will happen in the future, and it is useless to say anything now.

In short, the six major companies under Shuguang Holdings turned rapidly after Lin Chen made a decision, and these actions naturally caused a heated discussion.

Some large-scale media with a sensitive nose have directly exposed the purpose of Sugon Technology, such as the Huanqiu Daily, which exposed the news of Sugon Technology's attempt to enter the automotive industry.

The evidence is a photo of a senior executive of Sugon Technology sent to Rover Motors, and a candid photo of a senior executive of Sugon Technology shaking hands with the head of Rover Motors and a representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers was listed as the headline of the daily news of Huanqiu.

And this news naturally caused a huge sensation around the world, after all, if it was just a normal meeting, it was nothing.

However, since Rover Motors went bankrupt in April and was entrusted by PricewaterhouseCoopers, representatives of Rover Motors and the custodian PricewaterhouseCoopers have negotiated with domestic automakers such as SAIC, Jiili, GAC, and Nanjing, and have also reached some cooperation.

And these negotiations and some of the cooperation reached have naturally set off a frenzy of public opinion in the global automotive circle.

Among them, the domestic people are naturally excited, and the overseas people are naturally strongly opposed to the acquisition of Luofu by Daxia Automobile Company, which has triggered a round of big news affecting the domestic and foreign automobile circles.

At this time, Sugon Technology also had to contact the bankrupt Rover Automobile, which naturally sparked a big discussion. (End of chapter)
